Meet Marc Tsuno! ⭐
“I love working in archives, because not only am I handling unique historical material, but also I can play an active role in making these amazing materials accessible!” Marc says.
Marc is currently helping process a large collection, including audio and video recordings from U-M’s history! 🎥
“Many of these materials have preservation concerns,” Marc points out, “So it`s important that we process this collection to make sure it`s available to researchers and the public well into the future.”
A new student assistant at the Bentley, Marc has a BA in History, with a minor in Museum Studies, and he is currently working towards his MSI in Library Science at U-M.
In the future, Marc hopes to continue working in archives, helping library patrons find what they need for their research.

On this day in 1927, Michigan Stadium was officially dedicated with a football game against Ohio State! 🏈
Here are five fun facts you might not know about Michigan Stadium’s dedication game:
🪵 Extra wooden bleachers were added around the top of the stadium to create seating for the large crowd!
🌼 The captains of both teams were presented with massive bouquets of flowers during the opening ceremonies!
🎵 Songs played during the dedication included the “Star Spangled Banner” and “The Yellow and Blue!”
✈️ Local planes “made of nuisance of themselves” by flying overhead, according to the Detroit Free Press!
(Footage from one of these planes even survives in the archives, showing remarkable aerial views of the stadium.)
🎺 The Michigan and Ohio State bands both performed, forming the initials of their teams on the field!
“As a football spectacle,” the Michigan Alumnus magazine wrote about U-M’s 21-0 victory, “It wholly surpassed anything in Michigan history.”
The crowd`s size was described as "nearly triple" the population of Ann Arbor at the time!
